The NIH BRAIN Initiative supports new imaging technologies for the study of function and connectivity varying in resolution from synapses to the whole brain. Supported developmental efforts include but are not limited to hardware using different energy sources or their integration, image acquisition or reconstruction methodologies, and chemical compounds for specific imaging contrast.
Both human neuroimaging and non-human connectomics are covered by funding opportunities that range from early-stage proof of concept to data generation using validated tools. Funded activities are anticipated to not only enable better understandings of how the brain functions on multiple spatial and temporal scales, but also pave the way toward new diagnostic approaches for neurological disorders, mental illness, and beyond.
